Chapter 262: Under cover

Elrond 6B, 15th of January.
It is 14B days before the countdown to the first step of the Trial of the Bone Throne ends.
Heavy snow was falling around, and the team that had escorted Roddy had been in the forest for three days. By this time, they could see the forest edge far away.
The outside world has fallen to minus five degrees because of heavy snow, but the compartment is still warm as spring. A small, warm stove with delicate shapes is placed in the center of the car. Lifelike carvings and gold-plating craftsmanship show that this humble stove is worth at least fifty gold coins. This number Rodi knows, but Nata, who is sitting opposite him, There is no concept.
For the wood elf, although struggling to imagine and adapt to everything in the human world, she was still shocked when she saw such a luxurious scene.
The whole carriage is like a gorgeous palace. The "back" structure is more than enough for ten people to sit on. The antique wooden frame houses several bottles of red wine from the famous wineries in the south of the kingdom. The thick woolen blanket and the soft seat cushion have a wolf head pattern embroidered by golden silk threads, which indicates that this is an exclusive item of the "Roussefron" family.
In order to illuminate, a double-glazed "bar window" is used boldly above the carriage. Even if the daylight is not bright, the interior of the carriage is still full of light ...
All these details made Nata, who had never walked out of the quiet forest, completely feel that she was a "soil bun". She never imagined that the "nobility" of the human world could be so luxurious.In the three days on the road, Nata expressed More restrained than ever, it can even be said that there is no movement at all.
How complicated is the human world?
Her big eyes blinked, her eyes raised slightly, and she looked at Roddy, who was sitting across from her, imagining such a problem involuntarily.
In these days, she always remembers every bit since her encounter with Roddy-I still remember that when she first met him, Nata felt that he was strong, but also weird, she could speak elf, and always risked Make some weird remarks
Later, Roddy killed the bone armor colossus, fell alone to "Killer of Executioner" Kevin, killed "The Wither" Magda, and led the team to successfully kill a blood path from the siege of the noble lord ... all kinds of events, It is enough to stack Rody's image into a glittering "hero" in the eyes of ordinary people, but at this moment, Nata feels that the young man who is always slightly frowning in front of her seems to be no different from the first time she met .
He has always maintained a near-zero presence, low-key and inconspicuous.
For some reason, Nata feels that this is unfair to Roddy: After making so many contributions, is he still an insignificant member of the human world?
"Is this the first time you have been so far from home?"
When she was a little strange inside, Roddy, who spoke suddenly, was shocked by Nata. She looked away in a hurry, then nodded and answered, "Yes."
"I'll be in Hollier in a while. I need to tell you something in advance so that you can be mentally prepared." Roddy didn't ask why Nata stared at her, but it was very formulaic. Continued: "Hollier City is the largest human city you can see next. There will be a lot of rules here, and there will be a lot of people and things to be contacted. Before making any decision, ask me, Only then can you avoid dangerous and unnecessary conflicts, okay? "
"Remember to wear a face mask and hood, and don't reveal your identity except when I allow it."
"Don't run around, I know you love netting, so I have prepared a lot of spare clothes for you. When you need to wash them, you can do it for your servant instead of sneaking them, okay?"
"I see."
Nata blushed a little, she did not expect that Roddy would notice her "cleanliness", but with it, there was some inexplicable warmth from the bottom of her heart.
After talking about this, he stopped speaking, and continued to frown and looked at the parchment.This scene was repeated for three days.He had too many things to worry about, even if he was in the same car with Nata. Inside, there was never any ambiguous atmosphere ... the pressure was too great, he had never considered similar things at all.
Su Lun was originally here, but later he was assigned to another carriage in order to study leather armor.
The atmosphere fell into silence again, but today Nata suddenly wanted to say something. She pursed her lips. After hesitating for a moment, she first asked a question for a long time: "Teacher, do you have a high status among human beings?"
The teacher is so powerful, it must be higher than the village chief of Brudy.
Roddy looked up, with some surprises, but still honestly said: "Not high, or ... low, I am not even a nobleman."
"Why, why?"
Nata blinked and didn't believe Roddy's statement at all.
"Because ..." Roddy opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but found that he could not find a suitable concept and entry point to explain. After thinking for a moment, he spoke slowly: "The status of this thing depends on whether others Identify with you, there are many people who recognize you, and naturally belong to the 'high' class. "
He pointed to himself: "No one like me knows the natural status is very low."
Nata blinked and nodded, seemingly indifferent-usually very indifferent, she had a lot of words today, and wanted to come because she was about to enter a big city and had some expectations.
She wants to find out what level of teacher she is. If she is "excellent", she will naturally have some satisfaction-for Nata's young age, such an idea is inevitable.
But Roddy's answer obviously made her a little disappointed.
The conversation between the two ends, and Roddy lowers his head to continue to study the various arrangements that need to be busy next, while Nata is trying to resolve the depressed mood in her heart-after the team continues for ten minutes, the soldiers outside There was a sudden cheer ...
The team has walked out of the forest, without the shelter of trees, and people have seen the towering walls and buildings of the destination Hollier ...
The windows were opened, and Nata looked at the buildings that were miracles. Her usual indifference receded like ice and snow, leaving only the curiosity and surprise she had never shown. Looking at her exquisite face, Roddy lamented that the other party was just a young girl after all.
Arriving at Hollier City, Roddy can't help but think of Sally, what about that figure with long blonde hair? Is it well in the ‘temple’?
As he was thinking, when he turned his eyes to the front of the team, Roddy suddenly found that the scene in front of him seemed different from what he had imagined--
The snow was still falling, but there were more than a hundred honor guards with spears on both sides of the gate of the city wall.The silver armor was engraved with the symbol of roses and crosses, which represented that this was a soldier of the sect knights, and the red on their chests The ceremonial banding proves that this unit is an elite unit with extremely strong combat capability.
With the elite cavalry regiment as a ceremonial guard, such a stance only appeared when the Governor Bishop Rubens was met.
Is there a visit from the Governor Bishop today?
As soon as Roddy's mind appeared, he saw the two rows of honor guards standing upright and saluting collectively to his compartment.
"this is…"
The carriage entered the city gate, and the queue of soldiers in the temple in front of the window gradually changed to the soldier with the emblem of the "Rushfron" family. As the carriage advanced, all these soldiers even saluted the convoy.
In the snow and wind, these soldiers not only left without saluting, but slowly followed the team.Whether it was a sectarian soldier or a private soldier of Lucifer Furong, they were properly guarded in front of and behind Roddy's carriage. about--
Until this time, Roddy can finally confirm ... this team is here to welcome himself.
But Roddy knew very well that such a solemn and grand courtesy would not have even had Bishop Rubens.
Obviously, this is the expression of gratitude and respect of the Duke of Angmar and the bishop of Benjamin. Under such a situation, even if stupid Sulun and Nata, they felt the trueness of Roddy in the entire territory of Everta. Weight
The biggest aristocrat that Su Lun has ever seen is Viscount Terenka, and he only sees it from a distance, and there is no chance to connect near it-and at this time he is desperately stroking his thigh ... Sitting under the is the Duke's House Carriage, greeted by the convoy of the Duke's Mansion and the "Rose Cross" sect, all this is true
He never dreamed that these two forces, which seemed to be in the "clouds", even sent the most spectacular welcome team under the harsh conditions of the snow and snow ...
And Nata turned her head directly. The little sad face had some smiles on her face. Looking at Roddy, she said word by word: "The teacher just said that she knew someone, and she had a low status? "
Roddy suddenly felt that he had just made the remarks, and he completely stoned himself.
And this is not the end. When the team came all the way to the Duke's Mansion, Nata far away saw the two figures standing outside the gate of the manor ...
"Who is that?"
"Keke"
Roddy coughed and got out of the carriage, because it was the duke and the bishop himself
Standing in front of the manor to greet him, such a gesture is unprecedented in the nobility etiquette. Roddy said that it would be impossible not to be touched-this is definitely a model of "corporate sages"
However, his biggest characteristic as a otaku is that "emotional" emotions can be suppressed almost immediately, so after his mind calms down, he quickly has doubts: as soon as he returned to Hollier City, he encountered such a thing Is it really a good thing?
Gaze swept again, and there were many other noble figures on both sides of the manor, apparently all the nobles in Hollier City-this made Roddy's original smile slightly froze, then relieved slowly ~ www.mtlnovel .com ~ It turns out that these two old guys want to completely tie themselves to them
Putting on such a big show, and even bringing countless people to meet him, this is definitely not the scene that Roddy wants to see: because this is equivalent to exposing his originally hidden identity to the public and being thrown directly into the scrutiny of countless eyes ...
To avoid strife and trouble, Roddy had only one choice: stand obediently to the bright side and form an alliance with Angmar and Benjamin
Roddy really didn't expect that he was killed and killed outside, and he finally returned to the main city with a sigh of relief, but he entered their suit from the moment he entered the city.
This situation really made Roddy angry and smiling.
